I Have To Admit, I Set Too High Goals For Myself This Year Of ArtFight (but I Tend To Do That Very Often.)

You know, I have lately finished my first playthrough through Undertale Yellow... I cried. And since then, I had this idea for a cool drawing in my head but I got sidetracked.

Here, have a Starlo:

Just be careful that he doesn't shoot you 🙂

I was drawing a lot in my sketchbook lately and I came up with this place. Something in between of nothing. That's why I called this the "In-Between"

(I am also working on a concept for the character in the middle, but I first need to figure out how he looks. AND I also want to get a little away from my Undertale content, since I failed AGAIN to transfer my idea in a format I would accept, I do what I can do best: start over.)

I really love how peaceful and silent this place seems. I imagine this place to be a sub-dimension in between worlds. Kind of a connecting point for those who are aware. For that, it doesn't need to have much. I decided anyways to give this dimension a guardian and him a little place to be with a little company. (Birds are cute 😊)

Damn, replicating that pose in big was difficult. And the hand! I just couldn't get it right. It finally ended in me doing a second sketch but I kept trying to draw that hand over the old one and got it right but couldn't get it right on the new one. So, I cut it out and laid it on top.

And now, I think this looks so much cooler, that I'll keep the hand drawn on a separate layer.

Okay I made a sick sketch

It's tiny (like on the corner of my sketchbook) but I saw that pose and I was thinking like, okay this is EXACTLY how it looks when he uses his quirk so I scribbled down the pose and then drew him.

I want to make that in big. With markers. And maybe even make a background. And hang it on the wall to Kirishima and Denki.

And I was also thinking of something funny. The way he would describe how he fights with his quirk:

I can use my quirk as a weapon. Just think of it ... like a table. A table isn't dangerous, right? Then you accidentally drop something beneath it, try to pick it up and while getting back up you hit your head against the table. Although, it's just a table, it still hurts, right?

(I'm not sure if I'll allow him to reshape his forcefields but if I do, he would add:

Now imagine the table being a spikey pyramid...)

It's been quite a while ...

Thought I might post a couple more drawings.

I once did a drawing of Deku from MHA but ... I would put it into uncanny valley territory. So, I'm redrawing him again.

Take a bald Deku 😆

And here the version I did before:

Next artfight attack!

This time it's Koda Milimus by PsuedoVillainz @secretgaygenttomura

Was fun to draw 😁

Me trying to get adjusted with my new markers 😜

And little sneak peak on my next piece.

Lineart is already done but I'm too afraid to color it so I did the sketch above.

Also, this dude's name is Decay (at least for now. I am currently in a phase of overhauling all my ocs from this story and he might also get a new name as the others because I was back then just lazy picking them.)

His arm dissolves stuff, if the name didn't alteady tell 😀

Tadaaa! Lineart is done! Now I need to draw in the shadows and start coloring.

Here the links for the finished piece and the sketch.

I wanted to talk more about the coloring. I layered the colors in this way:

Base color - red

Shadows - dark red

Base color again (even over the shadows) - red

Shadows again - dark red

Alternate base color over everything - pinkish red

Darken shadows - black

I use the black to mute the color a little.

And now I am applying moderate pressure to get a more vibrant red. When coloring I also like to start with the most vibrant color to be able to match the other less vibrant colors to the apperance.

But in the end the order which part I color first doesn't matter that much.

Okay, I stopped working on the previous sketch since something about it was not right. I'm not sure what but it felt weird and I didn't like it.

Instead I moved on to the next one. Sadly, I forgot to make a picture of the sketch before slightly erasing but I wanted to show it nethertheless. So, here's Eijiro in his hero costume

Can't wait to line and color it 😀

My DND Char, when you piss him off 😀

Jupp, we're getting there.

Still need to get a name for him...

Note: My place is currently such a mess. Shreds of paper everywhere.

And I can't stop moving the hand in all different positions. Now I've realized that the way I drew it, it is similar to that one scene where Katsuki and Shoto make those stupid cute anime faces. That scene made me laugh for over a minute.
